Along with high prices of fuels and more restrictive safety and environmental regulations (including environment protection) increased interest in sandwich structures is being observed. One of the solution having growing application potential is steel sandwich panel. The construction consist of very thin steel plates (about 2mm) and stiffeners between them. The main advantage of using such solution is very high strength to weight ratio. Additionally strength properties can be modified by using filling material inside the panel. As for now only panels filled with balsa and PVC have been tested. In spite of positive results of the tests and significantly better properties of panels with filling commercial usage of those composite panels is restricted due to high price. One of the most suitable material for a core of steel sandwich panel construction can be lightweight concrete. Special type of concrete was designed and used in this application being a compromise between strength properties and costs. The article focuses on experimental testing of hybrid (steel-concrete) panel construction. Strength tests were performed on the real scale construction with and without filling material. The influence of core material on strength properties of hybrid steel sandwich panels are being presented.
